First looks at Gwenpool in Marvel’s Voices: Pride 2023!
Tumblr media
For Marvel’s annual Pride anthology, Gwenpool will star in the story “Everything’s Coming Up Aces”, by aroace creator Marieke Nijkamp, Pablo Collar, and Michael Wiggam.
Tumblr media
Yes, that is Gwenpool wearing an aromantic asexual flag! We love to see it!
“I love Gwen for her wonderful meta chaos, and getting to write an aroace super hero as an aroace writer is truly magical. These are the types of stories that make readers feel seen, and it's more important than ever to have such an amazing celebration of proudly queer and trans heroes and unflinching joy!” -Marieke Nijkamp
Tumblr media
Gwenpool is also featured in this Marvel’s Voices: Pride variant cover by Jan Bazaldua & Tamra Bonvillain.
Marvel’s Voices: Pride is out June 14th.
Get your preorders in by the FOC, tomorrow 4/30!

With Pride Month upon us I would like to remind you that companies aren't your friends. Since I like comic's ill say it. Taking your Queer characters out of storage for one month then putting them back or not mentioning them being Queer for the next eleven months isn't Pride it's Pandering. This doesn't mean you can't enjoy the comics, I can't wait to see them either, but just remember companies are not your friend.

I am so excited for Gwenpool to get more moments in the spotlight, but I really just wanted to put this out there as well cause I think it’s also important.
Look there, in the background next to the pride flag at the pride event in a sneak peak of Marvel’s Pride issue. Is that Doreen Green and Nancy Whitehead? Look at them skating together at the festival for queer people.
Now them being in a relationship has never been directly stated as far as I know. In fact, I think it’s only ever been implied that either aren’t straight. This is a big deal for both of them.
While it’s still not… canon technically, this is once more almost the strongest possible implication of a character being queer without directly stating it.
I know Speedball didn’t mind lips that tasted like chestnut so we can only hope Nancy doesn’t either is all I’m saying.

So, James Somerton's brought his Wiccan and Hulkling video back online and I feel a need to just yell into the void for a moment about it.
In that video, Somerton says a lot of really dumb things and exaggerations to make the Young Avengers MLM power couple of Wiccan/Hulkling and the gay X-Men Iceman seem more important to comic history then they are. They are incredibly important, of course - Iceman especially is, to my knowledge, the only Lee/Kirby character to be textually out - but their writers were not fighting tooth and nail as Somerton claims they were - and they certainly weren't acting on spite against a homophobic Marvel who would never let queers into their flagship franchise. They were stories, pitched and approved like any other...
Hell, Bendis had already written a queer woman in the form of Ultimate Spider-Woman a fair amount of time before Iceman came out... Somerton's commentary makes no sense - it's well-delivered and no shade to anyone who was fooled by it, but (like a lot of comic book discourse online TBH) it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
That said, I think it's important to remember that Marvel Corporate does still need to approve queer coming-outs. There are actual times where characters were intended to have come out as queer, but ended up as subtext in the final draft or had their arcs abandoned entirely. Hell, in the Marvel Pride special last year, Marvel writer Tini Howard alluded to the challenges that can come from writing queer stories while not knowing if they can be officially queer - mentioning how she's been "writing Rachel and Betsy falling in love before [she] knew [she] could."
Tumblr media
So like. If you see something queer happening in a Marvel comic and it remains confined to subtext, then please do not immediately jump to "Well, Somerton lied about corporate resistance to Wiccan/Hulkling, so therefore this writer totally had a choice to do a queer story and just chose not to"... Not everyone has the sway of Bendis! Not every queer coming-out is approved. They often take time.
Queercoding is also, for better and for worse, often the route to queer canon in a collaborative medium like comics. There's a lot of queercoding and queer implications from the Jim Shooter era (where queer stuff was actually firmly prohibited at Marvel) that are only now becoming canon. Northstar, Marvel's first openly-gay superhero, was coded for years before it was hard canon. Chris Claremont, one of the main architects of the X-Men as we know them today, wrote plenty of stuff that was subtextually gay that Marvel is still playing catch-up with to this day - ex/ Mystique and Destiny only became Nightcrawler's biological parents, as was his original vision, last year and we still haven't had Kate Pryde do anything more textually Sapphic then kiss a tattoo artist one time...
Being frustrated is cool - I am also often frustrated with Disney and Marvel, as my blog can attest - but please do direct your frustration at the corporation and don't jump to being mean to authors/artists... as I'm pretty sure they're often just as disappointed as we are!

I haven’t been paying close attention to comics this summer, and I just learned about Fall of X.
SO many mixed feelings.
Ofc they brought Kamala back. We all knew they would, from the moment she died—MCU synergy, she’s a mutant(ish) now.
Call me horrible—but my first thought was that finally, Wanda’s not the killer of all mutants anymore. She just got done fixing resurrection. And finally, Charles has to face his hubris.
Second, though—there’s no way it’s permanent. Not just because 250,000 mutants died, including Jean, whose whole thing is resurrection.
But also, because Prodigy, Iceman, Mystique and presumably Destiny are all “dead.”
That’s not just bury one gay. That’s half the Pride issue, every single year.
And finally, third—Wanda’s family is safe. For ONCE. 😂 Tommy was off-world with Billy. Wanda’s “technically not a mutant anymore,” and neither is Pietro. Viv is a synthezoid, and so is Vision.
B/c Steve Orlando is my hero. 😂
Could Agatha’s weirdness in Amazing Spider-Man annual (2023) be prepping to bring them all back? Did Erik die for the second time this year? Is it possible the portals themselves weren’t meat-grinders, but rather scattering people across the multiverse? Could Orlando be setting the Maximoffs up to save everyone? Will they finally have to trust Wanda?
I don’t love that Tommy has even more trauma, and the sheer number of dead queer characters makes me nervous. But damn. The MU is changing.
Edit: Linking this response—more clarification/discussion :)

Earlier this year we got to work with Charlie Jane Anders and Tamra Bonvillan to create 2 new trans characters for Marvel Pride 2022! Here’s some of our design sheets and art for Shela ‘Escapade’ Sexton and her best friend Morgan Red.
We had a lot of fun with them and their flying turtle, Hibbert! And we got to draw Emma Frost and Destiny!
If you like Shela and Morgan, you can read more of their adventures in the current run of New Mutants :D
